mmm never had this problem before. Is it in a .rar file? if so you will need winRAR and not winzip. If you do a search in google you will find it.

yep on the zips it is most likely an incomplete d/l.. on ghostrider its possible you dont have a new enough version of winrar.. you need at least winrar3.0 to unpack that properly

Sure, if the version you use is older than the one used to rar the file, it's there the problem...

You might be using WinZIP or WinACE to unzip those files. Sometimes, not all the files can be 100% compatible. I used to have WinACE, but decided WinRAR is better. Try uncompressing with winrar. That should work. As for the filesize, I did the same as TT.
